They each wanted new guns to bring and with money they have saved and earned, they picked out brand new guns! It was such a big deal to check prices, scan their pick, pay for it, get their very own receipt and know they bought it all on their own.
As they were looking at all their choices, Remi was very careful about picking out a gun that wouldn't hurt me. That little booger sure does love his momma and is always trying to take care of me. Roen on the other hand, had one thing on his mind- finding the coolest gun he could get with the $41 he brought in his wallet. He was very deliberate about how much he spent. He counted out all his money, decided how much he wanted left in his jar and took the rest. Remi on other hand brought quite a bit extra to have the option to spend a bit more if he wanted.
They ended up getting the exact same gun- which didn't surprise me a bit!
We ended up having an absolute blast at this event. It was broken up into two one-hour time slots and it worked out where Roen was the first hour and Remi was the second. Now, don't assume I ran around for two hours straight chasing these boys, because I didn't. I don't like to run and I hate sweating. However, I hung in there until I started sweating- then I would take a break until I cooled down. The boys were fine with this and had a blast shooting their friends while I sat out. At the very end, I think I had 5 different boys on my tail chasing and shooting me non-stop! I had welts all over the backs of my arms!
